Okay Robear, here goes my best stab at the definitions for the terms
used in the press release (correct me Lionel if I falter):
Heading: The tunnel your driving into.
Scram: Horizontal movement in the mine, similar to a heading, but
smaller.
Raise: Vertical movement, up or down.
Stopes: Room size area above the floor, bigger than a heading.
Culled: To pick out certain pieces (in this case, high grade)
Sulfides: A mineral indicative of the presence of gold.
Up-Dip: Further up the structure, in this case - where it hasn't been
mined yet.
Now write these down so I don't have to keep explaining this stuff to
you. LOL
